Leading wih your Spirit, not your Intellect

Humans are spirit beings. We had a beginning, unlike God, but like Him, we shall live forever. Where? That's a future discussion--we'll have it one day. But for now, getting actively connected to Heaven is going to mean a reorientation. Our received western culture teaches us to lead with our intellect, with spirit being optional or non-existent. God's design, rather, is for our spirit to lead out and our intellect to come along as a "handmaiden" to facilitate the deployment of spirit-led policy, information, and choices. This lifestyle absolutely demmands that you function in some of the giftings mentioned in I Corinthians 12 and following chapters of the Bible--but, no problem, that stuff is available for free! And, just to give you a touch of Church History, St. Anselm said in the 11th century, "Credo ut intellegere." That's 'I believe in order to understand.'
